A. Power of amendment. The Board of Supervisors may, from time to time,
amend or repeal this chapter. When doing so, the Board shall proceed
in accordance with applicable law.
B. Referral to Township and County Planning Commissions. At the discretion
of the Board of Supervisors, any proposed amendment, regardless of
origin, shall be referred to the Township Planning Commission and
the Chester County Planning Commission. The Township and County Planning
Commissions shall have at least 30 days prior to a public hearing
scheduled to discuss the amendment and to submit to the Board of Supervisors
a report containing their recommendations, including any additions
or modifications to the original proposal, all as provided for in

If, during the course of construction or completion of a subdivision
or land development, minor changes, alterations or modification of
a final plan become necessary, such changes may be approved only after
written acceptance by the Township Engineer. Substantial revisions
to any such final plan may be approved only after written acceptance
by the Township Engineer and written approval of the Board of Supervisors.
If approved, substantial revisions to any final plan shall cause the
rerecording of the final plan after such approvals are obtained and
the final plan is revised to reflect the approved changes.
The Township shall keep a record of its findings, decisions
and recommendations relative to all subdivision or land development
applications filed for review.
Appeals from the actions of the Board of Supervisors with respect
to any application for subdivision or land development approval shall
be governed by the provisions of the MPC, as they may be amended from
time to time, or any successor legislation thereto.
